	my Dad's old stamp album My Dad's stamp album was given to me in the 1940's. It is an International by Scott Stamp & Coin Company, dated January 1, 1920. He collected them through the '20's and '30's, some uncancelled, most are. Someone more expert than I might find a treasure in it. I can't discard it due to sentiment, but I would sell it to someone who would find it of interest and value. I invite your suggestions!

	8 ALBUMS of TONGA STAMPS I do not know anything about stamps. These 8 albums came from the estate of a deceased family member. I would like to know if there is anyone to advise me on the value and how to list them. There are too many to list individual. by *pappaw2 ) Aug 27, 2008 06:58 AM \| No Products Discussed	0

	Swimming in Stamps! Advice? I am over my head in stamps inherited from my dad and want to start listing. I have about 6 albums (partially filled) and boxes full of stamps from all over the world. Almost all have a postal mark on them. Will that hurt the value? I don't know where to begin. I have stamps in envelopes that come from Egypt, Vietnam, Ghana, Israel, Osterreich and many more countries. I also have tons of US stamps - 1900's + up. I am looking for a stamp dealer in my area and looking into catalogs (Scott's - is that the one?) so that I may find the appropriate values. Am I starting out right? My main problem is that he smoked, and some have that old smoke smell. Most have been removed from the paper and the books are hinged stamps. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. I also have learned through your discussions that feedback is crucial for buyers to consider your item. I have 100% - but only a few since I am still new. I know that I must build that up. Thanks! by elizareads ) Aug 23, 2008 05:02 PM \| No Products Discussed	5
	Tape on stamp mounts I've recently inherited a stamp collection from an Uncle. The collection is contained in several Lighthouse stamp books and all the stamps are in mounts. The collection for each country appears nearly complete. (Almost all the pages are full) The only problem is that for some reason my uncle taped the sides of each mount. I guess his thinking was to keep the stamp from falling out of the mount, taping each side would solve that problem. The collection is almost thirty years old and I can see there are many older stamps, blocks and souvenir sheets that have value but now after all this time the glue from the tape has managed to not only turn an ugly brown and stain the page but has also migrated to the stamp leaving a brown sticky stain on almost every stamp. Is there any way to save this collection? Suggestions would be appreciated. by bamberger1951 ) Aug 21, 2008 01:10 PM \| No Products Discussed	1
	Modern stamps Hello again. As I said in an earlier post , I'm new to the world of stamp collecting. Could someone tell me which of the modern stamps that have been released from the USPS in the past couple of years have good potential of maybe someday becoming worth something? I enjoy the hobby (I just buy whatever catches my eye) but was just wondering about a potential investment. I mainly collect coins and I know that the population/mintage of coins will reflect future value of them. Do stamps have a population report or anything. Sorry for asking so many questions but I wouldn't mind someone helping me on this subject. Thanks again!! by mr_met1221 ) Aug 20, 2008 06:04 AM \| No Products Discussed	6
	CTO's I have a lot of what appear to be CTO stamps in the collection I inherited. They all seem to have a partial part round postmark isolated to one corner of the stamp. Is there any easy way to tell that a CTO from a standard cancellation? I understand a CTO may be worth less but is there generally a significant reduction in value vs the standard postal cancellation? by itzmegeo ) Aug 18, 2008 01:59 PM \| No Products Discussed	4
	1870's victorian stamps I recently found 2 stamps on the original packing paper sent from New York to Illinois. The stamps are a 6 cent Lincoln stamp and a 12 cent Clay stamp. I researched them a little and found they are pre 1873 when the printing contract changed. My question is, how to remove them from the paper, or if I should not remove them? by walter6908 ) Aug 18, 2008 12:01 PM \| No Products Discussed	2
